GERMANS F RIENDLY * “T shall try to téll you my impressions of European conditions: while working said Powers Hapgood, in his lecture Around th 1e World Under- ground, given in Chapel, on Wednesday, March 2. The first country that Mr. Hapgood visited was Great Britain. There he worked in an anthracite mine, living with the miners themselves. The intelligence and education of the workers was. the most striking featute; they were up on all topics of current interest, the theatre, literature and politics. Mr. Hapgood at- tended a class in Geographic Economics, which, he said, was typical of many other classes held i that district and in others. These classes are taught by young men miners who had studied with scholarships from their union at Ruskin College, Oxford, or at the London Labor College. This interest in education is having a profound effect on the working classes; it is making them equal to the intellectual classes. if Learns German in a Week. In order to obtain work-in Germany, you must speak the language. Mr. Hap- good knew no German when he entered the Ruhr valley. But this was only a temporary obstacle; after living with a German family for a week during which he was tutored intensively, he applied for work equipped with the ‘answers to such questions as “How old are you?” He got the job! His main impression of the people was their friendliness towards him, a citizen of a country which had so lately been their enemy. The other miners helped him in his work and taught him the language. With one in particular, he formed a partnership, and they became firm friends. He and this _ man, Willy, ‘were working together once ’ when Willy said suddenly, - “Powers, would you kill me?” “Certainly not,” was his reply, but Willy went on, “But that is exactly what might have hap- pened. if you had been on one side of the front, and I on the other. It is wrong that working people of one country should kill those of another.” This il- lustrates the general feeling of the min- ers about. War. Many of them have signed a pledge ‘not to take part, in any future war, becatrseiithey understand that ‘CONTINUED, ON PAGE 3 A Landslide for May Day Revealed by Hall Voting The college*ig overwhelmingly in favor of having May Day next year.

The con- -sensus’of opinion was that plays should -be reduced from eight to five, four, or even three, while the green ought to be at least maintained’ at its present elabo- rateness.

Caitans Salvemini — , Fascist Opponent, Will Speak on ‘Dante and His Times’ Gaetano Salvemini, dicinusdina Ttal- ian Scholar, and now ari exile because he openly opposed Fascism, will speak in Taylor on the evening of March 11. His subject will be’“Dante and His Times.’ A professor of modern history at the University of Florence for ,many years, he was a_ liberal before the Fascisti marched on Rome, and he con- tinued to be a liberal after the Fascisti shad canonized’ a new: autocracy. Prof. Salvemini was a distinguished scholar, with a reputation in every capital of Europe, but he did not hold his peace. He attacked ‘Fascism with as much spirit as if Italy under Mussolini were still a free country. And at the time of the Matteotti murder he: struck out fear- lessly. As a result he was brought to trial in the summer of 1925, not for hav- ing’ had the courage to speak his mind about the Government, but on a trumped- up charge of having anonymously vili- "J fied the King in a periodical circulated secretly. He is an exile now, deprived of his civil rights and property. King’s College and Oxford have given refuge to him. He comes to this country now to lecture on “Italy Today,” and. deserves a welcome as a brave man, a liberal who believes in liberalism and one of the most distinguished scholars of ,his generation. Professor Salvemini will speak in Philadelphia at a luncheon given by the Foreign Relations Club Saturday, March 12, on “Fascism” and Miss Park urges evéryone to avail herself of the oppor- tunity of hearing him. McNARY-HAUGEN ‘BILL DISCUSSED Mrs. Smith Says It Stabilizes Markets and Lessens Evils of High Tariff. VETO FOR FREE TRADE What is the present.condition of the, farmers in:the United States, and what the McNary-Haugen bill could do to afford them relief, were the two. ques- tions taken up by Dr. Marion Parris Smith, Professor of Economics, in two sessions of morning chapel last week, Wednesday, March 2, and Friday the 4th. The prosperity which the soit is at present supposed to be enjoying is not nation-wide; it is chiefly restricted to certain industries and the stock market. Farming, especially, is at a very low ebb, although it has improved a little since the period of acute depression in 1919-1920. There are four outstanding reasons for this depression: first, the crash in foreign prices since the war makes the sale of excess staple crops abroad comparatively unprofitable; sec- ond, the quick revival of agriculture abroad far surpassing the reconstruction of industry and finance, and therefore of purchasing power, curtails the. market; in the third place, France and Belgivgp have cut down strenuously on imports, in order to improve their financial situa- tion; and finally Australia, Canada, Ar- and Russia, are all beginning to compete with us on the foreign market. Statistics Show Depression. The figures show how bad the esult- ing depression is. The purchasing power of a certain amount of the farmer’s, goods sank from $826 in 1918 to $210 in 1920, while his dollar, which was worth the full dollar before the war, is now valued at only 87 cents.. In 1920 a farmer: was only able to make a yearly profit of .6 of one per cent. on his -in- vestment; this is. now a little better, the ‘average profit being 3.8 per cent. « All this‘ is. aggravated by a considerable shrinkage i in the value of farm land since CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 Cast Is Announced For.

NEW YORK QUARTET IN LAST CONCERT Audience Revels in Program With Vitality and Emo- tional Appeal. BEETHOVEN HONORED The third and last of the concerts in Taylor Hall this season was given on Monday night by the New York String Quartet, founded by Mr. Pullexer, The program was an exceptionally happy one for the audience, one which required con- siderable exertion on the part of the mu- sicians.’ All the selections had vitality and great tunefulness, varied by slower, more moving passages. The abstract, in- tellectual quality which..many lovers of symphony music are in the habit of ascribing to a good deal of chamber music as a reason for liking it less was lacking in this program. Its direct emo- tional appeal was beyond the usual scope of a string quartet. « In memory of Beethoven’s death, a hundred years ago—March 26, 1827—his String. Quartet in F Major headed the program, The quick excitement of the Allegro con brio, the plaintiveness of: the Adagio were admirably . brought out.

NECK AND NECK FINISH Varsity’ managed to pul] out ahead of Baltimore by 22-18 in the most exciting game of the season so far on Saturday. It was a hard™pull too, for Baltimore had a very good team and kept the lead up until the last quarter. In the first half Sin was de- cidedly ahead of us. Starting off with a rush, they left Varsity standing at the. post, and popped in four goals before we had recovered from the shock. Their teamwork was good and their passing clean. The passing of our forwards, on the other hand, was noticeably poor by contrast: Dean, at center, was completely off form and never bothered to move after she. had passed the ball. Our guards were as good as possible under the © circum- stances. At the end of the half, Bal- timore was in the lead 13-8... Matters looked brighter for us in the second half. Varsity came out of its coma and began really to “play ball.” ‘Everyone’s ‘passing was much improved and the forwards were warmed up to their job. Our guards, especially Huddleston, were brilliant. Every point was hotly contested and Baltimore gradually lost its edge on For several thrilling moments the score was. even, 18-18, and then Varsity scored two triumphant goals in quick succession and the game ended 22-18 in our favor. The line-up was: Bryn Mawr: Loines, 21122222; Wint- er, 2222; Dean, Walker, Huddleston, Sub:. Poe. Baltimore: Tyson, 222221; Gardner 11; Dobbin, 221; Hammon, Carring- ton, Boehm. : M. Champion Still Recalls Bryn Mawr with Pleasure M. Edmund Champiori, Paris pub- lisher, who lectured at Bryn Mawr last fall, is still thinking of America with pleasure, and particularly of Bryn Mawr. In a recent interview in a Paris news- paper, he says: “My happiest recollections of America are.of my talks in girls’ colleges—C’est la que je voudrais vivre, as the song says. The American girl is certainly the best thing there is in America. You can’t imagine what a pleasant sight such an assemblage, moving in its beauty, can be.

BARKER IS PIERROT hi ie re emees @é By Mary Louise White, 24. As a charter member of Players, your reviewer must be allowed an offensively Proprietary pride in Friday evening’s de- lightful entertainment. For it ‘was a three-act comedy by Mariquita Villard which introduced Bryn Mawr’s original dramatic talent to the world through.the medium of fhe Players, over three years ago; and to one ghost from the past it was Mariquita Villard who was the bright star of Wyndham’s latest contri- bution to the theatre. The earlier play will be remembered as a rambling narrative about an artist and a girl, enlivened by occasional lines which popped out of the surprised actors’ mouths to everyone’s vociferotis delight. “The Gift” revealed a distinct tightening 'of technique and a new spirit of inspired verity, but the direct approach to its subject and the frequently unbelievable lines casually thrown out by one char- acter or another proved that- Miss Vil- lard’s debut had been all respects a worthy one, and that the Players have justified themselves, if only in fostering her talent. Miss Villard as actress too must be mentioned with praise, Her all too brief appearances in “The .Triumph” were greeted with sufficient warmth by Fri- day’s audience to mark its appreciation of her: geriuineness both as a player and as Yvonne of “ze gallerie.” For it wag not her acting alone which led one to prefer Yvonne to the other characters in “The Triumph.” They were well deline- ated, if you like—the piece was bien faite —but they lacked reality, conviction, im- port, as did the play.

Permanent Constitution. manent constitution was adopted at the Second Annual Congress of the Federation which was held at the Uni- versity of Michigan in December, 1926. This constitution was signed by 175 colleges and universities, which thereupon became full members, and. by 19 colleges which, because they are not accredited, are ineligible for full membership and therefore became as- sociate members. These colleges and universities represent over 410,035 stu- dents in 40 States. The country was divided into six regions, a representa- tive being elected from each region to act on the National Executive Com- Lmittee. The following national of- ers were elected: * President, Fredriks D. cian Uni- versity of Cincinnati. -Vice President, Marvin Breckin- ridge, Vassar College. Secretary-Treasurer, Jeseph T.

RTH, 29° Prttrit, ’'28 Entered as second-class matter at the Wayne, Pa., Post Office. . ‘ (Cernelia Rose, ’2 tssue,) ~ 8, in charge of this A CREATIVE COLLEGE Bryn Mawr has rather suddenly ” made the discovery, or suddenly begun to act upon it, that absorption is only half of education, that the|_ process is incomplete without a cor- responding amount of output or creative effort of some kind. Of course one always wrote reports, but. the héart, we fear, was not in it. Besides there are ways of. ex- than by words,, quite as valuable, and quite as important to an education, how- ever. general, which are only just beginning to receive a proper share of attention, But this year all sorts -of forms of expression have been starting up spontaneously, or ac- quifing a new vitality. The art club, founded by student initiative, flour- ‘ishes on sandwiches; and with three separate dramatic organizations pro- ducing five plays, one of thefn written by a member of the college, within two months, we are well on the, way to developing a department like the one conducted by Mr. George Baker at Yale; or the one at the University of Chicago, where the students write, produce; and act their own. plays, designing — the scenery and putting on the perform- ances in an up-to-date theatre—be- longing tothe department. While as to music, although interest began several years ago with the founding of the music department, its impor- tarice is steadily growing, and while it is chiefly appreciative, classes in harmony, and music lessons, pro- claim the creative impulse. Even ‘in the writing line, the publication: of the recent pamphlet shows a néw energy: ‘In fact, all we need now is a department of sculpture and architecture, so that the next gener- ation-may build its own Goodhart |"! : , : jindeed admirable; we can imagine Hall, and carve its own Juno. IL DUCE DICTATES “Know thyself,” said: Socrates. Not too easy a job this in these days of higher education for the female of the human species. One is often: appalled at coming face-to-face with the highly-trained intricacies and super-educated convolutions of the college-bred cerebrum. And now ‘we have an aide in this task. "The great; the only, Mussolini has con- descendeg - No longer need we search ourselves : I} Duce puts us in our place and Jeaves no trailing shreds of illusion. “Women are the agreeable or pleas- ant parentheses of life, and corisid- ered as such they play a very im- portant part in man’s kaa . .» -Women cannot create. - ‘The power behind the throne? ‘No. Woman is not that. No’ gr animals,” “indeed! Il Dtice goes 6n he-men: “Flirtations should. be in- dulged in as frequently as possible up to the age of forty, then a man should settle dowm to more ‘stable amusements, . . . What. more charming, thrilling than the first kiss; what brings a more proféund sigh of ,relief than the last? : Women are inferior to men. But then, of course, they are decorative. Left in their proper relation to man they are all that is delicious, ador- able, sensuous. . Women are to men what men desire them to: be, agreeable parentheses‘ in busy lives.” Thus does the Dictator of all Italy dictate to Woman her trifling place in the sun. It gives us that cozy, feminine feeling of being submeérged in. a Caveman’s personality. ‘Again, for the first time since the” Victori- ans, a Lord and Master has dared to say his say. No longer need we try to live up to the arduous motto set by Socrates.. Now, at last after many years of bondage to the intel- lectual ideal, we can resume the rap- ‘sturous’ role of ivy clinging to the. sturdy oak. And, at least, Il Duce|, deigns .to admit that we are; deco- rative. WHAT TO WEAR? The , Spring Clothes matter has come up on its annual round; the very first sign of it was evinced as long ago as the first of February, when the dogfish brought forth last summer’s demoded frocks and set our minds working on our ward- robe. Far more important than scheduled quizzes ‘or sixty-page re- ports now looms the question of whether blue or green will be the best color for a new suit, if last and shall we have tub silks made at home or buy them on Forty-second street. So we sigh sadly and. philoso- phize: “Life. is just one. worn-out dress after another.” Why bother to buy clothes at all when they will they will really only differ in unes- sential detail. The Paris fashions say that trousers are really coming in; now there is a thought of interest; if we could only contemplate the buying of several pairs of trousers for summer wardrobe, the matter would be worth considering. Can you not see the charming girl graduate with white satin “collegiates” under her academic gown? Or the debutante with slim brocaded legs? How at- tractive the sporting miss would look in pleated plus-fours, and the busines woman in severe blue serge high- water pants! ‘A BETTER IDEA The Idea of a college as outlined in. the recent pamphlet seems to us nothing more soothing than to have a serf stationed behind our own chair in the smoking room to light our cigarettes for us. But there is one serious aspect that she seems to. have: overlooked: what will be the result, ir after-life, of the stu- dent's’ rapid rise from serfdom to aristocragy in four short years? Will she not become so dependent one else to do the dirty to tell us what we are. #hat her husband will have to ‘serf himself? She will have forgotten her own years of servi- tude after having Tamed ‘the delights of independence. Rather we suggest ‘that the ‘last’ the one in which she learns to attend ‘to another’s needs. And who has more needs than the incoming Fresh- man? . Young, inexperienced, in- competent, she is the one who needs an older person to darn her stock- ings, pack “her suitcase, run her woman’s unseen oe vision ar a preieh ie baths.

After what happened to Taylor, and to .Big Ben? we cannot but think that there is some conspiracy on hand, Or perhaps it can all be attributed, to sun spots.

Shall We Support Chapel For Rest of the Year? (Specially contributed by Beatrice Pit- ney, °27:) Attendance at chapel has reached an ebb which even for Bryn Mawr is low. This raises a problem that has been raised several times in-the past few. years.’ “8 | The C. A. Board feels no desire to deal in general platitudes on the subject. Neither does it wish to resort to any artificial methods of boosting chapel: or to the impressement of unwilling students en route from the lib. The board does, however, think that the situation would be improved if a few of the facts of the case were laid before the members of the association. The facts are as follows: (1) The question as to whether Sune) should be abolished or not has been voted on by, the members of C. A. several times in the last few years. Each year an almost unanimous vote has been cast in favor of it continuing it. (2) In accordance with the wishes of the association as expressed in this vote chapel speakers were last summer invited for this year. . ‘ ' (3) The committee which pe the and js therefore representative of the de- sires of the association. (4) The speakers were chosen with the greatest possible thought and care. (5) Only a small proportion of the people who supported chapel in theory are supporting it in practice. They are assuming none of the responsibility which they voted to have the association carry. (6) Whatever the association may de- cide this spring as to the future fate of chapel the fact remains that ministers have ‘already been = an the rest of this semester. . (7) So slight an | sietation at chapel naturally means a gesture of extreme rudeness to the speaker. Posibly, too, the good name of the college is not meee thereby.

Philadelphia, the Habima was given: possibly the greatest ovation ever accorded a Jewish theatre company there. The play presented was “The Golem,” by L. Levick. Hundreds were turned away and curtain after curtain call interrupted the action. The Moscow Theatre Habima came into being “during . the early period of* the. revolution of: 1907. Its first per- formance took place on a tiny stage, before an’ audience of one hundred per- sons in a little private house on one of the narrow cross streets of Moscow. Today it is known in all the capitals of Europe. Czarist. persecution became so severe in 1913 that the Habima could not ap- pear in public. The Habima had an- other period of trouble, however, when the Soviets decided that performances given in a language not understood by: the-masses are prejudicial, The greatest intellectuals in Russia sprang in the de- fense of the Habima and overcame this objection. s TWO ARE CHOSEN Dorothea Shipley, ’25, and Agnes Mon- gan, ’27, have been accepted as graduate students to work under the’ direction of Prof. Clarence Kennedy, of Smith Col- lege, in Italy and France next winter. ® |The group will meet in Florence Septem- ber 1 and study art under his personal instruction. December 1 they will go to’ Paris and study there under the best masters at the Louvre and the Sorbonne. ince the group is very small and care- fully selected jt is a great honor for Bryn Mawr to have two representatives. Nine Deans Graduate. The January issue of the Bryn Mawr Bulletin, devoted to the Academic Com- mittee’s report on the Graduate School, is especially interesting. After outlining nad .| to chapel a girl must do Mon ay’s lesson. the history and functions of the school , the report goes on to give data on the members of the school before and after ‘graduation. Ten hundred and eighty- eight students, chiefly foreign, have at- tended it since its foundation. About half of these have’ become teachers after receiving their degrees; nine of them are. now deans.

The conditions. for women are the same, except that married women get two months with pay, before and after childbirth. The living conditions are not so good as the working. There is a great deal of poverty, but wages are good in propor- tion to the cost of living. The standard of living is about the same as in this country and is coming up, because pro- duction is increasing. The Communist Patty is in control in Russia, although only five hundred thou- sand out of one hundred and twenty-five million people belong to «it. The reason for this small proportion is that a mem- ber of the party may not take a wage exceeding one hundred and ninety-five rubles ($100) a month. Also, there can be no graft among members. A private citizen is only lightly punished, but a party member must die for it. Hypoc- risy is the crime of crimes. Russia is in a transitional period.

THE 2 Honsaity Was sent to Christ, Says Dr. Boon Christ should mean more to the true’ Christian than .simply what we learn from His life and ‘teachings, we were told by the, Reverend Harold 0. Boon, who spoke in Chapel on Sunday, March —@.. To Christ: humanity was everything and He understood its importance as being greater than the difference in race, color or sex; He is an example to us to love every man because He is a man. Paul—or a follower of Paul—in the Book of the Ephesians voices this prayer, that Christ may come to dwell in our hearts by Faith. What does that mean? What He. means by our hearts —affections, understanding, anything but intelligence—i¢ easily grasped, but the|* other two are more important... , To what aspect of Christ was Paul referring? .Sutely not the Jesus of his- tory’ Paul never refers to Christ as “Jesus of Nazareth;” he does not think of Him as a person. Nor is it essen- tially Christ as a_ teacher. - Paul has ‘something else in mind. Christ is the substance of Christianity. It is well for us to study what He meant to the early Christians. Three thousand years ago the world was not so pros- rerous and happy as it is today. Al- though Palestine had native rulers they were worse than foreigners would have béen; men wondered if life was worth living, but after Christ came the deep- est thinkers worked out the idea of the, ” “perfectibility of man;” if this world: is not perfect there is another to look for- ward to. ‘ Christ Is Closest Approach to God. Christ is the closest we can get to jod; He is what St. John meant by the divine word. We do not mean to trans- late “logos” to understand that Christ is God’s word Incarnate, the key to the problems of humanity. When one considers the Jewish back- ground from which Christ rose, He & To the Tew, seems the more unique, standards ate very different’ from what they are to Christians. In thes Jewish home, the most. aged person -is the’ most important. * The child is kept in his place. We se@ this in the subways of New York; .pegple don’t stand up for ladies any more; ‘they stand up-for old meh or ‘women—for so the Jews have taught us. But Christ said “a little child -shall lead . them. ane The chief character of the Jewish re- ligion is righteousness, conformity to Taw. They have little appreciation of dutf to- wards one who has sinned. We see this in the fact that there are no Jewish homes for fallen women, in spite of their many charities. Christ was quite differ- nt; He called the sinners to Him. So in the relations of the sexe ; to the Jews a‘wife is a piece of adkecty with no rights of her own. ’Christ re- versed that standard as well as every other one connected with people. Christ Interested in Humanity. It was people He was primarily inter- ested in; He judged—and taught us to judge—not by what He seems to be, but because He is human.’ “The trouble with Christianity,” said Mr. Chesterton, “is not that it has been tried and found wanting, but that it has been found difficult and not tried.” Few peoplé really understand St. Paul and St. John, but.one cannot really under- stand Christianity if one omits the mys- tical element that these two Apostles dwell on. ° Paul is not peculiar ; there are other witnesses to the supernatural side of the Christian religion. Faith might be called the ability to be sure about something you can’t see; but Paul saw it and we can accept his testimony. To try to put Christ, the “image of the invisible God,” in our hearts by faith is what is really intended we should do in Lent. The easiest way to do it is by prayer; after a few minutes’ prayer in Not a chance of that lead-like, loggy feeling even during early Spring—if you make a daily habit of Shredded Wheat.

Farmers who paid three per cent, of their cash income in taxes before the war now have to pay from seven to fifty per cent. of their cash incomes. As a natural result of all this has come discouragement, de- cline in morale, the evér-increasing drift’ to-the city; so that while the population of the United States as a whole has in-' creased eight per ‘tent. in the last seven years, the farm population has decreased seven per cent. Since 1920 various, measures have been proposed for the relief of this distress: an emergency tariff was naturally unsuc- c&ssful since it is not. a matter of home competition with foreign’ goods. The formation in Congress of the farm bloc, made up of representatives of farming districts without regard to party, stimu- lated farm legislation. In 1921 the first direct financial aid was voted to help bring the goods to market, while at the same time the old Finance Corporation was reconstituted with the special object of dealing with the farmer’s problem.

THIRD PAGE ernment for its expenditure by an equali- zation fee tharged on every domestic gale. ‘The obvious disadvantages to this sys- tem are: that the “Ratio” price would. appreciably raise the cost of living, benefiting one group at the expense of the rest of society; that the increased cost, of raw materialg would subject American manufacturers to adverse com- petition in neutral markets; and that the collection .of the eqt alization * fee wotld be difficult, and offer a fair field for graft. But all these disadvantages are found to an even greater degree in the high tariff system, one of the chief poli- cies of the Republican Government; and President Coolidge when he advanced these” same arguments in’ his veto mes- sage on the bill, was writing ‘the best ,free- trade document since the administra- ‘tod of Woodrow Wilson. ’ The bill, moreover, has great advan- tages in that. it would not only stabilize: the home marketing system, by a method similar~te—that employed in transporta- tion ‘by the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, but it would also provide central control of foreign marketing, by ma- chinery such as is used in Brazil and the Scandinavian countries to stabilize exports. If the bill were passed, however, Dr. Smith said, it would probably not bring . the long run; it would be meeting a world problem by domestic mgans. The only way really to meet the situation would be either to make a drastic change in our recon- struction policy, such. that by better terms on the foreign debt and material the—market abroad could be built up again; or by a therough revision of the-tariff to reduce the cost of living not only for the farm- ers, but for all other consumers. It is unlikely, however, that any Republican administration will ever adopt either of these policies; so that we must fall back of necessity to raising ourselves by our own boot-straps. by Second Varsity, 25-15 Second Varsity fumbled slightly less than Rosemont and so came out ahead} 25-15 in the rather Saturday morning. messy game on In the first half our passing and teamwork were better’ than theirs, but no one on our team was outstanding.
